I never played organized ball after the Hawks, though I was trying out my sophomore year until I severely sprained my ankle playing pickup basketball.

I'll be 51 this summer, so I think I played B-team ball (8-10) from '71-'73 and played A-League ball at Barcroft in '74 and '75.Did you go to W-L, Yorktown or Wakefield?

Very sloppy game with five errors, three by the Pirates. But the Brave bats were booming in the 18 to 9 win. It's going to be an interesting year in our division.

Charges were reduced to felony misconduct and sentenced to 2 years probation.He's been a model citizen ever since.

The comments on that Blog even from African Americans I found interesting.People say stupid things all the time and I always think it's what's in someone's heart to know what they really are. Youthful indiscretions happen.

My guess is they keep that out of trending words as it would probably trend 24/7 https://twitter.com/search/realtime?q=nigga&src=typd

Note to Ron in Reston:You noted yesterday that you played at Barcroft Park in the 70s for the Arlington Hawks.I was there playing for your rival Arlington Optimist.———————————————Water under the bridge….but man, we hated you guys :) When (what years) did you play? I think I played B League in 74 and 75 and then A League in 76 and 77. My sister also played for the Hawks, but later in the 70s, probably 79/80 or thereabouts, and then played for Bob Peck.Does this mean we can't be friends?
